Dog fouling is “a serious issue” say councillors
Kerry County Council plans to carry out a countywide anti-dog fouling awareness campaign after the issue was raised at a recent Killarney Municipal District meeting.
The Council say they will provide additional dog fouling signage “in identified areas throughout the town”.
The move follows complaints from both Mayor Marie Moloney and Cllr Niall Kelleher.
Cllr Moloney recalled a particularly distressing story at a recent Killarney Municipal District.
“I remember one time I was out with my grandchild in the buggy, and the wheel of it just got destroyed…this is not good enough,” she told the meeting.
Cllr Kelleher said it was “a serious issue around the town”.
“There are serious issues around the town with dog foul especially on our new cycle path," he told the meeting.
"Can signs be erected, or bins installed, specifically for dog foul and an awareness campaign be taken out in the local media such a Killarney Advertiser to promote responsible waste removal and the hazards of dog foul?"
Kerry County Council said it is going to step up awareness campaigns including one that will involve 147 schools in the county.
“The Dog and Litter Wardens continue to carry out joint patrols in towns, amenity areas etc with a view to reducing the level of dog fouling,” said a Council official.
“Our Environmental Awareness Officer (EAO) has recently arranged an anti-dog fouling campaign which is being rolled out in 147 schools across the county and the EAO will also liaise with the press and communications office with a view to running a similar campaign on the Kerry County Council social media platforms and in the print/radio media.”
